Dwarves live in the mountains and live in caves, mines, and other
deep places. They love the search of underground wealth. So be on
the lookout for their caches in rocky places. These are the
favorites of the dwarves.
Dáin was the second cousin of Thorin Oakenshield, and responded
to Thorin's call for help during the quest to reclaim Erebor. Dáin
set out with several hundred Dwarves, and arrived just in time for
the Battle of Five Armies (as recounted in The Hobbit).
After Thorin's death, Dáin became King under the Mountain and
King of Durin's folk, the first not in a direct line. Dáin was
killed during the War of the Ring in T.A. 3019, defending the body
of his ally King Brand of Dale before the gates of Erebor. He was,
by then, an extremely old Dwarf but his prowess in battle was still
great. After the war he was succeeded by his son, Thorin III
Stonehelm.
Dwarves in Tolkien are long-lived, living nearly four times the
age of man (about 250 years), but are not prolific breeders, having
children rarely and spaced far apart, and having few women among
them. Dwarvish children are cherished by their parents, and are
defended at all costs from their traditional enemies, such as Orcs.
A longstanding enmity between normal Dwarves and Elves is also a
staple of the racial conception.
Part of a cache series...complete the other Middle Earth Dwarf
caches to find the Dwarven Cache. A number is in every cache that
can be used to find this cache. In turn there will be a few series
Elves, Dwarves, Humans, Hobbits and Evil. Each races cache will
have a clue to unluck the "One cache to rule them all cache".
